#84

Uncle and Aunty H live in #84. Uncle is a retired doctor.He's 6 feet,fair and 80+(age). Still rides his own bike and goes all around the countryside collecting wood and what not. Once a year he goes into the interiors of Nepal for fishing and gives away free medicines to the villagers around. He once reared a leopard cub to maturity and then gave it away to the zoo. I always liked listening to uncle and his stories. He has a bunch of them. He stays with his wife and daughter, while his son stays abroad. Aunty H is not very welcoming. She and her daughter drive to the city almost everyday for sundry jobs or shopping. Mother daughter are inseparable,even at social gatherings. Infact when the daughter goes to work (she works as a drama teacher at an international school) her mother accompanies her and stays there for the entire duration of her work. So, uncle is very het up in the last few days because aunty and daughter spent some 4lacs from his account. He is trying to find solace in his pets but in a fit of anger he blurted out his frustrations. Apparently the spending is too much and the daughter despite having a job doesn't contribute a farthing to the family expenses. Apparently she's been married once and divorced. Maybe it was just wishful thinking but he wanted her to remarry.
